from time; to time?

[shooly76]

I just searched for this 'time value'..no results due to search words being too common? hmm..and I know this has been brought up here before.

need to run strategy from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM EST. basically I just need to know exactly what to input for time series, time value, etc.

I know it should look something like this

from time >= 9:00 AM to time <= 3:00 PM but all I can get to come up is: 'to time; to time'. cannot input: 'from time; to time'

I have done this before (2 years ago) with a different strategy before..but cannot remember what parameters to input in strategy wizard.

Hello shooly76,

Thanks for your post.

You've posted in the NinjaTrader 8 strategy development so I will assume you are using the strategy builder.

This is the code generated by the strategy builder using your times as an example:

if ((Times[0][0].TimeOfDay >= new TimeSpan(9, 0, 0)) && (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay <= new TimeSpan(15, 0, 0)))

Here is a link to the helpguide for the strategy builder "conditions" where you will find a section on how to make time comparison in the builder: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...on_builder.htm

I dont remember having to input any ninja script code last time I made it work with a different strategy.

Im pretty sure I just built the time series/value parameters within the strategy wizard.

ie- I did not need to input ninja script code..the wizard did all that for me. I can do it..but if I dont have to then Id rather the wizard do it for me..ha.

Hello shooly76,

Thanks for clarifying your needs.

In the NT7 Strategy wizard's condition builder, in the upper window, click Add then on the left side select Time> Time series, next in the center select ">=", next on the right side select Time>Time Value and set the specific time of 9:00 AM, click OK. Next again click the Add button and repeat the sequence except choose "<=" and on the right enter the time of 3:00 PM. See screenshot.
